jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2200 Posts	Posted 06/22/2025 12:52 pm Last night after I came home from buying groceries, I looked through my change and noticed a penny that had some obverse damage which made it difficult to read the date. Upon closer inspection, I could see that the first three numerals were 195. Could this be my lucky day? I immediately turned the coin over and was greeted by a shimmering set of wheat stalks. It was indeed a lucky day! Here it is. The reverse photo is disappointing because it doesn't fully show the amount of shiny luster; in fact, it's almost brass-like. No matter what I did, I couldn't my iPhone to replicate it. But you can see the beautiful detail in the wheat lines. Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1484 Posts	Posted 06/22/2025 3:59 pm I suspect that one was cut loose when someone noticed the obverse damage. Could it have been improper plastic contact/storage over a period of many years? Edited by halfamind 06/22/2025 3:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
